We are pleased to announce that Greenfield/Belser has won the BioHealth Capital Region logo competition. Several members of their creative team contributed to the winning design:

The winning icon is a modern and vibrant rendition of a double helix that also gives a nod to the geography of the BioHealth Capital region, with the diamond shape of DC in the center. The blue and green colors connote health and vitality. The blue right-pointing arrowhead echoes the tagline: Advancing Science/Accelerating Innovation.

We received over 80 submissions from design firms, colleges, and freelance designers from Maryland, Virginia and DC. Each entry was carefully evaluated by a panel of 14 reviewers who considered both practical and aesthetic factors. The panel selected Greenfield/Belser as the winning designer and worked with the firm on several iterations of the icon and wordmark to arrive at the final design.

The top submissions in the collegiate and freelance categories, along with the runner-up design firm are recognized with Honorable Mentions:

Joanna Ashley Espiritu, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Dawn Blanchard, Dawn Blanchard Design

Paula Altable, Cuadri Communications

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the logo competition. We are delighted with our new look!
